CNBC - Traders Cheering on Ron Paul

Ao ouvir Ron Paul questionar o Presidente do FED. E Rick Santelli, o meu comentador preferido da CNBC (a partir do floor dos futuros sobre taxas de juro - obrigações) nitidamente entusiasmado com o facto, argumentando com o senior economist. Incrível.

Don't silence the scientists. Por Sue Blackmore.

Science is above all a search for truth over expediency. Lots of us would naturally like the world to be a cosy place in which human beings are in charge, everyone is equal, all comes right in the end, a kind god watches over us, and we end up in heaven for ever. But it's not like that. In lots of ways the universe is absolutely not how we would like it to be. It takes science, and its rigorous (if imperfect) methods of accepting actual evidence, to overcome our desires for it to be otherwise.

Race and IQ is just one such issue. Life would be easier, society would be fairer, racism would be easier to fight against, if there were no differences. But thousands of studies (including twin studies, adoption studies and much more) have shown differences between races in all sorts of abilities. We don't know exactly why, we don't know precisely how dependent these differences are on testing methods, environment, and countless other variables, but in general James Watson was only telling the truth based on lots of evidence.

Against the Stream. Por Hans F. Sennholz.

In politics a man may talk about principle but act on interest. The men and women of FEE never forsook the principles they professed. They kept the faith, proud of their great tradition, and confident of the noble cause they were serving. They lived by George Washington's motto which they proudly display in the FEE library: "If to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterward defend our work. Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. The rest is in the hands of God."

Por Fred Thompson:

Some people think that our planet is suffering from a fever. Now scientists are telling us that Mars is experiencing its own planetary warming: Martian warming. It seems scientists have noticed recently that quite a few planets in our solar system seem to be heating up a bit, including Pluto.

NASA says the Martian South Pole’s “ice cap” has been shrinking for three summers in a row. Maybe Mars got its fever from earth. If so, I guess Jupiter’s caught the same cold, because it’s warming up too, like Pluto.

This has led some people, not necessarily scientists, to wonder if Mars and Jupiter, non-signatories to the Kyoto Treaty, are actually inhabited by alien SUV-driving industrialists who run their air conditioning at 60 degrees and refuse to recycle.

Silly, I know, but I wonder what all those planets, dwarf planets and moons in our Solar system. Hmmmm. Solar? I wonder. Nah, I guess we shouldn’t even be talking about this. The science is absolutely decided. There’s a consensus.

Ask Galileo.

Tenho uma vez mais de discordar do Tiago Mendes. O meu voto no concurso Miss Universo 2007 vai para a representante de Angola, Micaela Reis. Desculpem a insistência.
